I can't complain about grip at all with these, They seem to hold their own very well. I wish I could compare them to other tires in their class, but I cannot. If anyone has had both these and Toyo Proxes T1-S's on their Prelude, please lend some incite

My only qualm with these (and it may not even be the tire, rather my wheels) is related to balancing. For some reason my wheels have taken a lot of weights, but not all 4 wheels, and upon rebalancing, a wheel that took a lot of weights the first time took few in comparison to another which took few weights before and many the second time around, which is what lead me to believe it was the tires and not the wheels. I was able to have the wheels/tires balanced both times on a machine that also tested for road force, which, from what I understand, measures how the tire flexes and "behaves" at speed. Basically the number one complaint of wheels/tires that have high road force ratings is vibration in the car when driven. Once again, I cannot compare them to another set of 17"s that I drove on, so it could just be the feeling of a tire with less sidewall and absorbtion over bumps, but the car did seem to vibrate quite a bit at speeds over 40. I didn't try hubcentric rings for the wheels, and for all I know it could've been something else, so I'll leave it at that, and say, besides that one issue, these tires have been pretty good to me.
